Objectives

The Psoriasis Association helps people whose lives are affected by psoriasis.  This includes patients, family, friends and employers of patients along with healthcare professionals and researchers.  We offer impartial, up-to-date, reliable information (accredited by the Information Standard) via telephone and email helplines, websites (one main website and one website for teenagers and young people), website forums, conferences and social media.  We average over 27, 000 visits to our website per month.  We seek to raise awareness of psoriasis and related conditions amongst the general public, healthcare professionals and members of parliament.
We promote and fund research into the causes, nature and care for people with psoriasis and disseminate the results of that research.
